A woman's age is the most significant variable in determining the chances of having a baby. Although some women have ovaries that age quicker than the rest of the body, most women significantly lose their ability to conceive after age 35. Many couples lose very good sleep because of their impatience with Mother Nature. Perfectly fertile couples only conceive 20% of the time each month!
The following information should provide a guide as to when to be concerned and who to see for therapy if it is indicated.
